La Liga will use virtual images of stands in television broadcasts with added 'fan audio', produced by the makers of the Fifa video game, when it returns to action on Thursday. Domestic broadcasters in Spain will offer their viewers the choice of a 'natural' broadcast of games played behind closed doors with no fans but the international audience will receive only the enhanced broadcasts with added audio and graphics. The stands will be "virtualised" and will offer to-scale images of seated fans wearing the home club's colours. La Liga collaborated with Norwegian company VIZRT on the technology. The virtual sound has been developed with video game company EA SPORTS FIFA, in a project called Sounds of the Stands.
